I had some time on my hands…

An additional update for anyone thinking of moving to Open Pilot (Comma 3X). Open Pilot performs much better in snow than BlueCruise. BlueCruise will disengage if there is snow covering the lines on the road, whereas Open Pilot is able to maintain operation and does a great job of driving with snow on the road and less-than-perfect conditions.

Here is the link to an Installation Guide for the Mach-e:

do you know if the link has changed for the fork download. I’m unable to get that link to load

thanks. In advance

i think it is dead. Give me an hour and I’ll try to get a new one up for you.

Try this one. It will tell Comma you are an F150, but the I believe that is how we got CalgaryHero and EV_Vida working as well.

installer.comma.ai/tinkerborg/ford-comfort

edit: F150 and MachE use the same IPMA.

Thanks got it to download I don’t have a clue why I can’t get it off the main screen. I must not be smart enough!

Should switch when you go into Drive.

The rumor is the Mach-E is waiting for Comma to do injection testing which is a step to get the Mach-E on the main OpenPilot release ... and eventually full support (fingers crossed). The ADAS is great, but the experimental FSD features are not great - it will still rip through most stoplights and many stop signs.

yes, but is not really a MachE specific issue, that has more to do with the experimental nature of that model. It’s not really any better on a 100% verified car. There is a reason you have to go through 3 toggles and two “I acknowledge this is experimental” agreements to turn those features on.

After running OpenPilot for a few weeks, I've moved over to a popular fork called SunnyPilot and was able to resolve the fingerprint issue by modifying some of the Panda code in uds.py and adding the Mach-E ECU values. Vehicle now being recognized properly.

I maintain my own personal GitHub fork for personal usage and highly recommend, to anyone interested, do the same.

Quite a bit more info on the F150 thread. The vehicle's core operation for the purposes of these devices are high in cross compatibility.

As of 0.9.2, Comma.ai began to support Ford vehicles. Their latest release, 0.9.4, is quite impressive.

Went ahead and put in an order for the Comma C3X and the needed Ford Q4 Harness .

Since our IPMA is located in the trunk area, a long 3.1 USB-C extension is required. I picked out this one, as it seems to meet all the specs.

I will be documenting and taking photographs to the best of my ability so that people can hopefully learn and not repeat any mistakes that I make.

Just ordered two Comma 3x's one for my Mach-e and one for my Lightning... Do the USB cables and ethernet need to be 12ft? seems the ones linked from the guide can't be shipped to my address.

The lightening needs an 8’ or 10’. The Mach E you can use a 10‘ and a 6’ extension cables.

You are welcome to check it out: installer.comma.ai/SurferSD/ford-dev-c3 . I warn you that it's a development build and I update the code frequently to test/trial.

Trying your build unable to get out of dash cam mode says car unrecognized… any tips?
